It covers risk registers, assurance frameworks, internal audit, procurement and construction risk, plus the pressures of inflation and cost escalation. Participants will see how risk, performance and governance work together to keep projects on track.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"><span style=\"color: #252568;\"><strong>How will it be delivered?<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\">Through practical discussion, participants will explore recognised risk management techniques, project controls and internal governance structures. They&#8217;ll learn how to monitor performance and spot early warning signs of underperformance, and pick up practical guidance on what to do, and what to avoid, when things start to go wrong.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"><span style=\"color: #252568;\"><strong>What will I get out of it?<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\">By the end of the session, participants can identify and manage strategic, financial, operational and programme risks. They&#8217;ll develop and interpret risk registers, and apply benefits management and post-project evaluation principles to strengthen organisational resilience.<\/p>\n<h3 dir=\"ltr\"><span style=\"color: #252568;\"><strong>Get Involved<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">If your council is participating in BRIDGE, contact your organisation&#8217;s BRIDGE representative to find out about upcoming sessions and how to register.
